Étant récemment devenue célibataire, une créatrice de contenu talentueuse a la chance de décrocher un poste à temps plein sur un site en ligne prestigieux, lorsqu'elle se voit confier la mission de documenter son nouveau célibat pour une série sur les réseaux sociaux.

Querô is an orphan teenager, living alone near the docks in Santos, Brazil. His mother, a prostitute, died when he was a baby, and he was raised in the bordello where she worked. Believing he rules his own destiny, he refuses to compromise with anyone else, the corrupt policemen always chasing him, the oppressive discipline in the juvenile institution Febem, or the drug dealers who try to lure him. But this independence has a price.

Life in one of Belo Horizonte's outlying neighbourhoods is never easy, though it can be exciting. Pablo's mother asks him to go out and sell his precious canary, which takes him on an adventure, in which he discovers something of what it means to grow up in such a violent but beautiful place.
